December Wedding
My family went to Florida for my brother’s wedding and family Christmas celebration. The Yellow House was everything we could have wanted: cozy, comfortable, quiet, homey, and in a beautiful location. We were able to travel to Gainesville and Orlando comfortably. The full kitchen allowed us to cook meals. My son and sister bonded over a ping pong game. And, the fuzeball table was a hit with my new niece and nephew. We made some wonderful family memories in The Yellow House! We will keep it in mind for future family fun!

Yellow house near Santa Fe Lake
Property manager was attentive and accommodating, much appreciated. Overall, the home needs a few more amenities and a bit more owner love to be a SUPER vacation stay. Be sure to use Google Maps to navigate to the house, not Waze!

Relaxing
We spent a wonderful peaceful week at the "Yellow" house. All the amenities were there for us. It was comfortable for us to meet in the middle to talk and visit and still be able to separate to our rooms for alone time. The pictures do it justice but it is still so much more. Terri was amazing and kept in touch with us. We would recommend this home to everyone.

Mom’s BDay surprise
Rented this property for a trip planned to surprise my Mom for her birthday. Location was close to my Mom’s house so it was ideal. Was a little disappointed since the pictures on the listing lead you to believe the property is on the lake, but it is not. The house was well furnished and the beds were comfortable, but the cleaning crew could definitely give this house more attention. No real issues and we really did have a lot of fun just hanging out. Plenary of room for us to sit and play cards and/or watch TV on the provided Roku. Would recommend to friends and family. Nice and quiet neighborhood as well.

Nice house for UF visit
The Yellow House was perfect for our trip to see a Gator football game. Terri sent a welcome text with info shortly after we booked & was easy to work with. She even went above & beyond, when she mailed us headphones that we accidentally left behind! The house is in the country, on a very quiet street. It was clean & had just what we needed for a long weekend. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks Terri!
